Elevated view of Bluewater Shopping Centre from the south. Opened in March 1999, the Bluewater Shopping Centre, Dartford, was the largest in the country. Built on a former chalk quarry, the centre attracts a reported 27 million visitors a year. The huge car park can accommodate 13,000 vehicles. Many drive in from London or take the connecting shuttle bus. This photo was taken for the Museum of London exhibition, 'Death of the High Street?', held in 2000.
